Default atkins and constipation

I unable to "go".... Atkins suggests psyllium husks. I found sugar-free

ones
at the grocery store (sugar-free metamucil) but it contains aspartame.
Atkins also says stay away from aspartame. Does anyone know where I can

get
psyllium husks without sugar or aspartame in it? Thanks.


I got plain psyllium husks at Trader Joe's. It comes in a tub labeled
"Secrets of the Psyllium" in the vitamin section. It's a little hard to
take though - I can't drink it down with water as the label recommends.
I've been mixing a tablespoon into a bowl of ricotta for breakfast.

Next time I am going to try psyllium husk capsules, which I believe one can
also get at Trader Joe's. You might look into that option as well.
